Jim and Rich review the final MotoGP Round from Valencia in Spain. With two of the three championships already decided, the main interest for the weekend was on the Moto2 title decider, with Diogo Moreira triumphing in the championship ahead of his move up to MotoGP with LCR Honda. Moto3 saw a maiden race winner in Adrián Fernández, whilst MotoGP saw a sprint win for Alex Marquez and a GP win for Marco Bezzecchi, rounding out a stellar season or both riders. Elsewhere Jim and Rich chat through some news, listener feedback and touch on the end of season MotoGP test, held in Valencia on the Tuesday following the race weekend.

Jim and Rich try to get together and chat about Philip Island and Sepang, but technology let us down. Rich’s internet left the chat leaving Jim to finish the show by himself. The guys did cover some listener feedback and got through the news together. After that Jim covered all the racing action. At PI a second world champion was crowned as Rueda locked up the 25 Moto3 championship. Hometown hero Senna Agius won the Moto2 race and Jack Miller Tried his hardest to be on the podium but crashed out. The teams then moved to Sepang where Alex Marquez secured second place in the world championship marking the first time brothers have finished one two in the history of the top class. The Moto3 race had a crazy crash on the sighting lap that caused the race to be shortened to 10 laps and the Moto2 race was moved to after the MotoGP race. Furusato won his first ever Moto3 race and Jack Dixon won the Moto2 class.

Jim and Rich review MotoGP Round 17 from Mandalika in Indonesia. After a season of relatively trouble-free speed and consistency, Marc Marquez was hit by trouble in the form of Marco Bezzecchi. It was something of a crash and injury strewn weekend with several riders missing. Through it all came Fermin Aldeguer, demonstrating why Ducati put so much faith into signing the now 20 year old. Elsewhere, Moto3 was boiling up to a big finish before the red flags came out for David Muñoz following a nasty collision with Adrián Fernández; The M3 race saw a deserving José Antonio Rueda clinch the title. Moto2 was a rather steadier affair, with the main drama coming post-race after a technical infringement disqualification for Manuel González, leaving his title position in the balance with Diogo Moreira. As ever, Jim and Rich cover the news and listener feedback. Thanks to Gareth Lock for his feedback and thanks also to Michael Leete for keeping former show host Jim Race in our collective thoughts.
